...and just to uphold the pride of our old friends at Norsk Data, I'd
like to point out that the original version of that program looks even
nicer. It compiles properly using FTN (which is the older FORTRAN 77
compiler for the SINTRAN operating system), in this form (which should
explain the quip in the comment about a "block structured" language):

Clem had to break some lines to placate his more modern compiler. :)
